LAS VEGAS – Mo Bamba has a chip on his shoulder as wide as his 7-foot-10 wingspan after being selected by the Orlando Magic with the sixth overall pick in the draft.

For Bamba, it’s the latest fuel igniting his fire to become a Hall of Famer when he hangs up his sneakers.

“My goal is to be walking across the stage with a nice coat on that has a little patch that says, ‘Hall of Fame’ on it,” Bamba told The Athletic during an interview at Cox Pavilion at NBA Summer League.

The rookie center grew up in Harlem and attended Cardigan Mountain School, an all-boys boarding school in New Hampshire, in eighth and ninth grade before transferring to Westtown School in Pennsylvania. The 7-foot-1 center endured tough times with his brothers, including being publicly called out by one brother for accepting money from a longtime mentor. Now, he joins a crowded frontcourt in Orlando after falling out of the top five picks in the draft.
